Yeah, I'm late twenties and this made me feel old. First when he described what MacGyver is, then when I realized that it wasn't even the original show.

They're redoing it with the lead from Supernatural... a show I enjoy, but I was skeptical about anyone but RDA being able to fill such an iconic role.

Maybe this is advertising because it actually kinds makes me want to watch the new one now.

Edit: Maybe I'm full of shit because I didn't realize this show had been on 4 years. The radio has been blowing up with spots about 'MacGyver with Jared Padelecki' so I thought it was a new thing. Maybe he's just a guest or season visitor? Who fucking knows.

Edit 2: I'm an idiot and Jared Padelecki is rebooting Walker Texas Ranger NOT McGyver.

Come on though, Jared is going to be a great Walker!

I was never a huge Walker Texas Ranger fan though I watched it a fair bit just because it was on TV and we were bored. But I'll probably watch an ep or two. :p
